검증된 단계별 안내1
Understand that when reading the volume in a graduated cylinder, the liquid surface forms a curve called the meniscus due to surface tension.
Recognize that the correct way to measure volume is to read the bottom of the meniscus, which is the lowest point of the curve.
Ensure your eye is level with the meniscus to avoid parallax error, which can cause inaccurate readings if viewed from above or below.
Avoid ignoring the meniscus or reading from the top of the curve, as these methods lead to incorrect volume measurements.
Therefore, always align your eye with the bottom of the meniscus and read the volume at the nearest marked line to get the most accurate measurement.
